In a special episode of Hockey & Hounds, we meet Anthony Rothman of 97.1 The Fan in Columbus, OH, who started the original Hockey & Hounds show with John Tortorella in 2016. The two met up ahead of the December 10 game against the Blue Jackets and joined Jason Myrtetus via teleconference. They discuss the origins and history of Hockey & Hounds and its impact on the Columbus community, as well as offering some suggestions and tips for potential adopters. Jason and Torts also discuss the team's recent run leading into the Columbus game.

This week's scheduled dog was adopted before we could even feature him, so we're revisiting Phil in case you missed him during the bustle of Thanksgiving week. Phil is a mixed-breed brindle found as a stray that is in a PAWS foster home. He has the goofy exuberance of a puppy who thinks life is one big party. Phil gets along well with other dogs, and enjoys playtime and couch cuddles with equal enthusiasm. He'd especially benefit from a yard to romp around in since he's a strong boy on leash, but he means well and will be thrilled to join you for any outdoor activity (or any activity really, he's just happy to be here)!
